It seemed that things had escalated quickly. But for now, his word was law. Who was she to object?
Clad in Everett's clothes, she could faintly smell the scent of his tobacco. It was strangely comforting.
Maybe it was because the tension from earlier had eased, but her stomach started to growl at the most inopportune moment.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.
"You haven't eaten?"
"I have." She was too embarrassed and didn't want to continue the conversation.
Everett didn't press further. He just glanced at his watch and said, "I've arranged for your mother to be in a VIP room. There's a nurse with her. The doctor will notify you when she wakes up. For now, come with me."
Dorothy was taken aback. "Where are we going?"
"To eat."
"I really did eat."
He smirked. His usually aloof and handsome face softened a bit. "Just keep me company."
Dorothy didn't dare object. She nodded. "Okay."
She watched as Everett turned and walked ahead. She hesitated for a moment before following him.
Did this mean that she had found a sugar daddy? So that was what it felt like to have a backer.
...
As Everett got into his car, Dorothy kept her head down, staring at her shoes, until she heard the steady breaths of the man next to her. She then cautiously turned her gaze to him.
He seemed exhausted. He leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
